New single from Phil Wellman, "Big Sky Ascending"
The Skinny Review:
This is probably the first instrumental ever posted on here, but it's the type of song that even people who don't listen to songs without vocals will enjoy. It has a great indie rock sound and the violin really adds depth to it.
In Their Own Words:
“I recorded the initial song in my basement, playing bass, guitar and programming an old drum machine until it sounded right. I called it “Big Sky”. Around that time I developed a friendship with Colleen Wang [violinist on the single] through the various instrumental artist circles. We started talking about a collaboration and I pictured her playing on a different song, but she asked to hear some of my new songs. After hearing several- she asked to play on that song. I thought it might be a bit busy as I play an Edge like guitar line during the chorus- but she had a melody and within 24 hours had it recorded. We put it together and this is the result. I knew she would be able to make the chorus take off or lift it and I told her so. “Big Sky Ascending” is part 2. Both “Big Sky” and “Big Sky Ascending” are on my new release Starlight and Rust.” – Phil Wellman
